Employee Ombudsman

Mr PISONI (Unley) (14:57): Has the government referred the evidence that led to the arrest of the Employee Ombudsman, Stephen Brennan, to the federal royal commission into union corruption?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations) (14:57): No. I am being a bit cautious about exactly how I treat these answers because there are matters afoot in the courts and I do not think it is going to be very helpful for me, or other people, to start commenting on matters particular to this individual and I do not think it is either appropriate or helpful for a conversation which is suggestive of a predetermination of what might happen in the courts to occur in this place or anywhere else in public.
